Bringing the power of Gemini to Google Home

Transforming the Google Home experience for customers is centered around these three core capabilities.
With Gemini, cameras can now "see" and describe specific events. Instead of a generic "person detected" notification, users receive relevant context.
Using voice or by chatting with Ask Home, users can ask complex, household-specific questions like, “Did the dog chew the shoe on the couch?” and receive real-time, tailored answers.
Gemini processes hours of sensor and video data to provide a daily summary. It understands your household context—like knowing who family members are—to tell you that "Julie delivered flowers to Marina upstairs" while you were away.

New offerings for service providers

Enhance your user experience by leveraging the following Gemini capabilities when you bundle our Google Home Premium subscription with your branded services.
Leverages Home Brief to give customers a synthesized summary of home activity, highlighting what they care about most.
Uses natural language to create simulated presence automations, making a home look occupied while the family is on vacation.
Cuts through notification noise by using camera intelligence to identify things like specific visitors or deliveries in real time.

Gemini built in hardware program
